The effect is built into the shot. It's probably impossible without the masse stroke. There's a shot I've not seen that supposedly has the CB pulling above the side pocket before contact. Also big on the "no way" factor.

Before rail contact that is.

I wouldn’t knock this guy for any reason. If he attains his goal, that would be phenomenal. However, I think we all have a pretty good idea of how this is going to go. He is a 650, so he has some talent. Low robustness means he might be able to get his number to move. Since he is completely changing everything about his life and game, he might be able to get a late push. 700 might be obtainable, but unlikely. 750 is what, one in a million? Odds of 800, no idea, but astronomical. Look at Nicks’ journey to obtain a legit Fargo, and maximize it. He estimated his speed at about 575, with zero robustness. He has played a lot of good pool. Sought out better players. Played under pressure, worked on his game He has enough robustness to be well established, he is about a 575, just like he said.

They could at least set the clocks...

I was at the doctors a couple of months ago and noticed the clock above the door was an hour off. When I asked about it the nurse said, yeah, I'm not tall enough. We chuckled and I fixed it. Went back a month ago and was put in a different exam room and you guessed it, the clock was an hour off. I fixed it and didn't say anything, pretty sure she put me in that room to fix the clock!

In the NAPA league that I play in the 10-ball would spotted on the break spot.

That would seem incredibly silly. The little spot is called the spot and has been used since the spot was created. why would somebody spot a ball somewhere other than where a spot is that defines the spot?

Kenny is correct. I’m trying to see what’s available.

Thank you Kenny and for all of your other help also

Could not figure out how to pm the photos but here they are

First lesson, how to level your cue on the table when taking a shot. Typical beginner error. I see these often when people are hitting the air multiple times after wasting a lo ng time aiming. Also, it helps to start with a short stroke and work from there.

Equal and opposite momenta to the sides.

Yeah, but that isn't what you wrote. Momentum is conserved, but the amount out movement is not the same for all cues.
